Concerned about contaminants like fentanyl in your drugs? Want to check?

Fraser Health is offering drug checking at various locations across the region. This is a free and confidential service.

The drug checking utilizes BTNX Fentanyl Test Strips™ that enable individuals to check their drugs for contaminants like fentanyl.

How does it work?

Individuals are provided with a test strip. They then dilute their substance with a small amount of water and a positive or negative for fentanyl is revealed within minutes.

Drug checking for all chemicals

The Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectrometer (FTIR) machine can identify multiple ingredients, including cutting agents. This service is available at Abbotsford Community Hub Centre on Tuesdays and SafePoint on Thursdays.
